    We're hoping that our kids both end up in some form of martial arts or sport activity, as well as a music or other form of "learning" for after school times. My wife is a musician, and I'm a welder, by trade. Obviously I'd like them to grow up and learn as much as they can, but not by...

    Chronic Pain

    I was diagnosed with TMJ 6 years ago. 4 years ago they decided it was because of Bruxism. 2 Ortho's and my Dentist all suggested the easiest fix would be a night guard. Too bad I have a crossbite of 3mm, and an overbite of 4mm, plus shallow teeth = no guard because they can't make one that will...

    Sometimes he is wearing diapers, sometimes he's not. We usually let him run around the house without a diaper, or just in training underwear. Big breakthrough last night. He peed on the potty, twice. Then, without issue, as I was playing SWToR, I look down at him sitting on the potty making...

    Okay. My son turns 3 in February. We're currently trying to potty train. At first it was just refusal to even sit on the potty. We slowly got him used to sitting on it. Then we got him used to sitting on it without his diaper. We'll keep him on it for sometimes upwards of an hour. Not forcing...

    Have you cheated?

    I dated a girl for about 8 months. After the relationship ended, I found out that she was using me to cheat on her boyfriend. They officially broke up at some point during the relationship, and then she cheated on me with him at the end.

    Super Bowl Sunday of this year, my son was feeling cruddy. Worse than he had ever been in the past. Wife and I were really worried...borderline ER visit. He wasn't eating, or drinking, wasn't filling his diapers...when he was awake he wouldn't move. Just laid still with his eyes open. I went to...

    My daughter, about a month ago, decided to start pooping mid diaper change. But she had to get up and crawl away while she did it. Then she sat up to look at us chasing her down, and started bouncing, mashing more and more shit into the carpet each time. I go to bed fairly early every night...

    MLB 2013 season

    As we all know, though, a lot of players that are supposed to play like their worth, don't. A-rod, Pujols, Crawford. Even Fielder didn't play like his normal self.

    When my son was a baby, my mom and MIL both went nuts buying baby clothes. Lots of boy specific, but lots of neutral, also. When we found out the second one was a girl, we got rid of the boy stuff, and our parents bought a ton of girly stuff. Easily thousands of dollars worth of clothes from...

    One thing that I know helped my wife through the first few months of BF'ing was co-sleeping. There are pros and cons to it, for sure, but it worked out for her, and in the long run, me. Rather than getting up to get the baby out of the crib, she was just able to sleep either topless or in a...

    What do you do?

    Reading through the other forums, specifically the job listings forum, and became decidedly curious. Since the forum is new, the community base has been around for quite some time, but there seems to be a desire to expand it; why not open the flood gates? Be as descriptive or vague as you're...

    After my son was born, and the nurses swaddled him, they used two of the blankets. The trick to it is making sure you have their knees up to their chest. It doesn't seem normal to curl your baby into a ball like that, but if you let one of the legs out, you have to start all over. The velcro...

    I was unemployed when my first was born. I probably would have taken time off otherwise. When my daughter was born, I had planned to take a few days off around the scheduled due date, but she came 3 weeks early. She was born Saturday night, and I was back to work Monday. I remember thinking...

    Even though I know it will never happen, I keep wishing that some club would offer the Yankees enough money for Afraud so we could finally get rid of him.

    I was slightly disappointed to find out our second was a girl. My wife claims she knew, prior to the ultrasound. I wasn't convinced, because there are 80% more males in my family, and even my parents' families than females. But after that initial disappointment, I got over it, and then got super...

    Both of our kids were delivered naturally. However my wife had to get "cut" for my son, since he was coming out at an awkward angle; mostly into her hip. They used a vacuum on his head to pull him out, which caused a nasty bruise, which caused jaundice. I watched the whole thing...including the...

    Crawling out of the woodwork yet again... Lurked on FoH since when my bed time was 9:00pm and I couldn't watch PG-13 movies without an adult. Had thought many times about "buying" my way to posting rights, but my cheaper half got the best of me. The lulz were worth it. Just found out like 30...
